I'm working on a program and i need to find the ratio between two angles. * ThetaA/ThetaB = Number But I have available to me only * sin(ThetaA),sin(ThetaB),cos(ThetaA),cos(ThetaB) Right now I have just been doing * sin(ThetaA)/sin(ThetaB) = Number and it is reasonably close... but as my ThetaA increases I start to be off by a couple. Is there anything I can do (aside from taking the inverse sin() to get the actual angles) to get exactly the right number all the time using what I have? If not what would I need? Is it possible? Edit: Oh yeah, and I just played ball at Gregory with John Chiles, I don't have anywhere else to brag right now so I thought I'd throw it in here...
First few terms of the Taylor series for arcsin maybe? (near bottom of following page) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_series
This is a huge brag and deserves its own thread imo give us the scouting report also WTF is he doing playing bball midseason
Yeah! I held my breath for a second cause he came down after a rebound and landed on the back of my foot... didn't seem to phase him tho... Also on shots he'd be all like "Kobe!!" and he could dunk with ease (but perhaps that goes without saying...). He was a cool guy though, confident and had a swagger, what you want on a winning team obviously. Man, he's swole though... I tried to hold my position once as he went to the rim and his body was like a sack of bricks into me. lol Oops... off on that tangent... thanks for the math tips, I'll check out the Taylor series thing...
